1970 2 door 510
Looking to build a custom metal console starting from around the heater controls down past the shifter....I'm going to include some gauges, rear brake bias control and maybe a few other switches....I wanted to ask you guys if theres a aftermarket heater unit or fan that can be installed to help out the weak factory heater. Looking to drive the car most of the year so alittle more air movement would be good ahaha....Thanks

I'm pretty sure that Malcolm installed one of these units into his ice race car and found that it produced so much heat that he wore a t-shirt in his car while ice racing, and always made jokes about the fact that his car would melt the ice if it sat too long with the heater on.

Re: After market heater
Before shelling out big money for a whole new after market heater, I would start with the cheeper rout putting inline fans in the vent hose just before the register.

Re: After market heater
My 510 has a great factory heater. I have driven the car on cold days 25-30 degrees and it still provides good heat.
Enjoy The Ride!

Re: After market heater
Hmm...maybe I have to investigate some more, the fan seems pretty weak. I have the stock system and still can switch between windshield, floor or vents.
Re: After market heater
Have you pulled the system out and inspected it? That would be the cheapest first route.

Re: After market heater
My take also, I still have my factory heater, 73' and have driven in -5C ( 23F.) and even with my huge rad, have had adequate heat,
Fan and all controls still factory also.
